my day

the beginning: trying to begin my merge onto I-44 (farty far) i am stopped behind 5 cars. the car in front of me, a small black civic, is a girl with long black hair pulled back. she looks in her rear view mirror and begins waving to me in a rather excited way. i stare. she continues, trying harder as if this will get me to acknowledge her. i continue to stare. my inconsiderate staring grants a right arm over the passenger headrest and a half-turn towards me... now facing me... continued waving in an even more exited manner. i stare still, cockeyed, hoping this will prove to her that i have no flipping idea who she is. frustrated she thrusts her arms in the air giving up and we begin our merge onto the highway.

the middle: coming back from lunch at max and erma's we ascend to our office via elevator 3. it is just the trio and as i am looking at all the unpressed floor buttons i am reminded of elf and impulsion takes over. so, just before the door opens i press the remaining floors going up and we leave. i did not expect to find a delivery man waiting to get on the elevator going up and i did not expect to hear him as i turned the corner exclaim, "ah @#&$! are you kidding me?!"

the end: to be continued. there are six sweet hours left in this day and we are headed out to a rocking part-a where lots can go down.

Psalm 40

I waited patiently for the Lord and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay and He set my feet upon a rock, making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord.
